It's not a phase, Mom!

20 Signs You Were A Scene Kid

1. You wore tiny hair bows.

2. You dyed your hair strange colors...or you wanted to but your parents wouldn't let you.

It took you years to grow your hair to be healthy and normal again after all of the heat stress and bleach that you put it through!

3. Black, neon, studded belts, skinny jeans and band t-shirts made up your entire wardrobe.


4. You wanted (or had) snake bites or spider bites.


5. Alesana,Black Veil Brides, Chiodos, MCR, Blood on the Dance Floor, Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy and All-Time Low were the best bands around!

6. Black eyeliner...that is all.

(Don't forget the guyliner!)

7. No matter how hard you tried, you could never tease your hair the right way.

8. Jeffree Starr was just an awesome gender-bending musician on MySpace, and you adored him.

9. You and your friends would draw on your Vans, Converse or DC's.

10. Drawing Xs on your hands to show you were "straight edge."

"I'm straight edge ... I still drink ... and smoke ... and yeah, that's it ... so I'm still basically straight edge!"

11. You would go to your local underground venue to watch your friends perform with their screamo bands.

We all cheered on our friends in their crappy screamo bands and wore their shirts with pride.

12. Not only did you use a <3 less than 3, you created it!

13. You probably had a lame scene nickname that nobody actually called you.

Just admit it, we all did! How cool would the name, Nicole, be without the suffix "Necrophilia?"

14. Coontails were where it was at, even though your mom would only let you buy the hair extensions.

15. The embarrassment that ensued when your parents found your MySpace page.

16. Obsession with Skelanimals, Hello Kitty, Gloomy Bear and "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

17. You got beaten up at least once in a mosh pit at a show.

18. You always hung out in Hot Topic in hopes of one day scoring a job there.

19. You thought that selling out was a bad thing.

While you were hating on your former favorite band for making it big, you still don't earn a single dime and don't even care to. As you grew older, you realized how important it is to sell out and make money. You can still love your art, but sacrifices need to be made to put bread on the table.

20. You miss the old Black Veil Brides.

Come on, the old EP recording of "We Stitch These Wounds" is way better than the version on the LP.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
